Leather And Paddle Strops
The Best Strops For Your Straight Razor
We updated some of your strops and so we have now a wide paddle strop where you can exchange the leather sides by yourself. This way you can have as many leather panels as you want with as many pastes (and different leather types) as you want.
And the 4-sided paddle block got a big brother where you can put a razor inside. How cool is that?
Just scroll down to see the new strops……

I have received your order and couldn't possibly be happier. The surface of the cordovan
strop... no words can describe it.
You are an excellent salesman through and through, helpful as well as kind, and for that you have my friendship.
I will recommend your service.
Extra Wide Paddle Strop With Echangeable Leathers
It took us some time to figure out how to make those and here they are. Now you can have an extra wide paddle strop and can change the leathers as you like.The leather sits on top of a wooden panel which is hold in place via a strong Neodymium magnet.
The real huge advantage is: Not only can you use as many and as different leathers with or without pastes as you like, you can use the leathers more evenly too.
(Usually a right handed person will use the right side of the leather more than the left one. Now you can turn the leather front to back and use it more equally.)
Large Exchangeable Paddle Strop
We didn't make our old narrow paddle just a tad bigger instead we did the whole thing new from scratch.
Now you have an extra wide paddle strop where you can exchange the leather panels by yourself. Two strong Neodymium magnets are holding the panels in place.
The Classic Version has our proven rough black cow leather and a premium smooth calf leather. The blacks takes in any paste you want and the fine one is for daily stropping or one of your very fine diamond pastes.
And of course you can use the strop without any pastes at all.
This strop is excellent for general stropping.
The Top Version has a clear napped vegetable-tanned cow leather side and a napped oil-tanned cow leather side.
You can use these leathers with or without pastes. If you want to use just one paste with this strop, try the clear leather and leave the darker oil tanned one clean for daily stropping.
And very new, we offer a BLUE version with a single leather side and no grooves.
This one is ideal for stropping kitchen knives, knives and other tools. You can use this one for straight razors too, of course.
The wooden corpus has drilled holes so you can even mount it on your workbench.
Works great with our diamond pastes! I highly recommend them.
Measurements of the leather sides: 295 mm x 75 mm
Measurements in total: 460 x 77 mm, Handle: 120 mm
Weight: 500 grams
Minimal design changes are possible without further notice as production proceeds.

Wide Paddle Strop - Classic Version
The brown premium calf leather is meant for daily stropping and the velvety roughed black (or sometimes golden) leather is ideal for a diamond or chromox paste.
Fits even larger hands. Please watch the video above.

Wide Paddle Strop - TOP Version
If you like your leathers more in a “Juchten” style, this is the strop for you then. The darker velvety mineral oil tanned leather is great for daily stropping (or a paste of your liking) and the lighter (or sometimes geyish) leather is great for a diamond or chromox paste.
Wide Paddle Strop - BLUE Version
This single sided workbench strop can be used like the other wide strops too and can be mounted on a bench or table. It is a great strop for any tool, knife or straight razor and it fits all the other leather panels we carry. It comes with a single velvety leather.
Large 4-Sided Paddle Block
Our new and completely re-designed paddle block. Everything is larger: The leather sides, the handle and you can put a straight razor inside!
You can swing the top plate aside and put an even larger razor inside. Two leather covered clamps are holding the razor in place. This way it cannot bump around inside.
Additionally we replaced one of the rough leathers with a napped oil-tanned leather (same as the one from the extra wide TOP paddle strop above).
So you have two rough (but soft) leathers for pastes, one oil-tanned leather for fine stropping and one premium smooth calf leather for final stropping.
You can use all leather with or without pastes. We recommend to use the rough leathers (black and yellow/grey) with pastes and leave the other two clean.

You can use the "dot-sytem" at the handle for orientation (f.e. put the 3 or 1my paste on the 1-dot and the 0.25 my on the 3-dot leather).
With the 50 mm clearance in use, you can simply lay this strop on a table and use it there.
Can be used for tools and kitchen knives too!
Measurements of the leather sides: 295 mm x 48 mm
Measurements in total: 430 x 53 mm, Handle: 120 mm
Weight: 500 grams
Minimal design changes are possible without further notice as production proceeds.

Loom Strop With Historical Touch - Foldable
The Design of this strop is quite an old one but no one dared to improve it and make the strop better and therefore more useable.
Instead of nailing the leather to a wooden corpus it is just clamped in and gets hold by the handle. The corpus is foldable and in this way the leather gets tensioned when the corpus is straightened by pushing down the middle part with the palm of your hand. (Please watch the video above for this.)
This makes this strop the ideal travel companion as other paddle strops are just too large.
If the leather gets too long after some years of use you can just cut of a tiny (!) bit at the ends and tension it again.
This loom strop comes with a specially stiffer leather we find very suitable for this kind of strop. The surface is sanded very fine and smoothly and therefore you can use this strop for daily stropping.
Both sides of the leather are usable. The teflon folia at the end of the wooden corpus and in the middle of the leather (inside) keeps the friction low while pushing down.
This strop is like a hanging strop just in a smaller form factor and with a handle. Best for daily stropping without any paste.
Ideal for traveling and for lovers of old strop designs.
ATTENTION, please: Before collapsing this strop, unscrew the handle first!
Do not fold while the leather is tensioned. The strop will be damaged.

Measurements of the leather surfaces: 200 x 40 mm
Measurements in total: 335 x 40 mm
Handle length: 120 mm

Small Four-sided Paddle Block
You can use this 4 sided paddle block for different pastes. A "dot system" at the handle shows you which paste is more coarse and which one is very fine.
But you can use the leathers without any pastes too.
Hint: If this is your one and only strop, leave the very soft 4 dot leather free for daily stropping.
A very helpful and small tool which I use daily.

Advantage of smaller leather sides:
You have the possibility to strop certain parts of the edge only (i.e. heel part).You have more control over the blade which is very helpful if the blade is a bit “warped” like with very old blades.
Measurements of the leather sides: 217 mm x 34 mm
Measurements in total: 310 x 40 mm
Minimal design changes are possible without further notice as production proceeds.
Works great with our diamond pastes! I highly recommend them.
